Article [I.]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Article [II.]
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I am a law absolutist and I feel if you broke the law then you pay for it no matter who you are. Showing those photo's I agree will whip up even more anti american sentiment in Muslim nations but the tradeoff is that fanatics that want to kill us anyway know that these photo's exist and by hiding them they just use that fact to portray America as hypocrites not to be trusted. Show them, and prosecute anyone who broke the law.

There you go, cotts135 understands the law better than the United States Supreme Court.

"law absolutist" I have never heard anyone identify themselves this way.

I admit I went and looked up what the definition of absolutist meant within the context of your statement..correct me if I read it wrong but in your interpretation, is the law only black and white with no grey area between..not meant to be argumentative but trying to understand your context before commenting on it...

Absolutist in the context that we bring people to justice regardless of who you are if you are under suspicion of breaking a law. I don't believe in all cases where someone is charged that it is a black and white issue. There are plenty of gray areas in the law field but I think trials with judges and jury's are able for the most part to deal with gray areas. There are almost always circumstances that can effect outcomes of trials
